Stripe payments collected through Xero or Consent2Go can only be directed to a single bank account, and only one Stripe account can be linked to either platform.
The information below gives options on how to split payments collected through Consent2Go between Group Sections or events.
Option 1: Use Tracking Categories
Set up tracking categories and options in Xero to allocate income to individual sections.
When processing the Receive Money transaction in Xero, you can split the revenue across separate lines for each section and apply the relevant tracking category. This allows you to report on section income while still receiving funds into a single bank account.

Option 2: Transfer Funds Between Accounts
If you have a bank account for each section (not recommended), you can transfer the relevant camp or activity funds to the section's bank account after the Stripe deposit has been received.
The transfer should be completed through online banking and then recorded in Xero as a bank transfer to ensure the correct section receives its allocated funds.

Additional Recommendation
It is recommended to change your Stripe payout schedule to at least once per week and following the preferred process outlined in the Stripe & Xero article in the Scouts Queensland Support Hub. This approach generally reduces administration and makes reconciliation more efficient.
